STORYLINE
The fourth and final playoff spot in the PSAC Eastern Division comes down to this weekend when the Huskies and the Raiders collide. The teams are tied for the last playoff spot in the east while Kutztown, which is one game back, takes on Millersville. Bloomsburg must win, at least three of the four games, against Shippensburg to claim the final playoff spot as the Raiders hold the tiebreaker on the Huskies by virtue of winning a game against Millersville earlier in the season.

ALL-TIME SERIES
Shippensburg leads the all-time series, 114-75. The Huskies have won seven of the last twelve meetings dating back to the 2013 season.

LAST MEETINGS
Last season, Shippensburg won the series, three games to one. The Raiders swept a doubleheader in Shippensburg, 10-8 and 13-1, on April 17 before the teams split a twinbill in Bloomsburg the following day. Shippensburg won the first game, 8-5, before the Huskies took the finale by an 18-9 score.  Tim Ravel (Sinking Spring/Wilson) had a big series for Bloomsburg, going 7-for-12 with five runs scored and seven runs batted in. Austin Edgette (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) was 7-for-14 with three runs and five RBI.

SCOUTING BLOOMSBURG
The Huskies won three of four against Kutztown last weekend to move into a tie for the fourth and final playoff spot in the PSAC Eastern Division with one weekend left in the regular season. The teams split a doubleheader in Kutztown on Saturday (W 8-0; L 2-4) before the Huskies swept the Golden Bears at Danny Litwhiler Field on Sunday (W 9-2; W 11-5). Bloomsburg enters the series sixth in the PSAC with a .327 team batting average and ninth in the league with a 5.93 earned run average. Sophomore Shane Woelfel (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah) has heated up after moving up to the number-six-hole in the lineup. He went 7-for-12 in the series last weekend and enters on a seven-game hitting streak. He is second on the team with a .352 batting average (44-of-125) and also ranks second in stolen bases with eight. Austin Edgette (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) continues to lead the team in hitting with a .457 batting average (69-of-151). He is tied for second in the PSAC in hitting and is tied for the conference lead with 69 hits. The 69 hits are tied for fourth-most in program history. He also leads the Huskies in on-base percentage (.515) and stolen bases (12). He has reached base at least once in 31 consecutive games and has hit safely in 29 of his last 31 games. Tyler Benson (Montville, N.J./Montville Township) and Joey Casselberry (Eagleville, Pa./Methacton) are tied for third in batting average at .349. Benson leads the team in runs scored (54) while Casselberry leads in runs batted in (51). Ryan Kirman (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank Regional)'s 15 home runs represent a new single-season school-record, breaking the previous record of 14 set in 1989 by Matt Karchner. Kirman is still tops in the PSAC in round trippers - one ahead of Seton Hill's Matt Malacane. On the mound, Zach Meyer (Muncy Valley, Pa./Sullivan County) has the rotation's best ERA at 5.44 and is 2-5 on the season.

SCOUTING SHIPPENSBURG

It was only Millersville's fourth loss of the season. Shippensburg lost 3-0, 2-0, and 16-2 in the other three contests.
